Martha Stewart, of home and garden fame, is holding a $10,000 contest called "Dreamers Into Doers." One of the finalists is Laura Masterson, a CSA urban farmer bringing relocalization to life in Portland, Oregon! Not only would a win by Laura shed national light on organic farming, sustainability and other relocalization, her excellent 47th Avenue Farm CSA would win $10,000!

If you'd like to help put urban farming and relocalization in the national spotlight go to

click the "meet the finalists" button, scroll down and vote for Laura. You can vote every 24hrs so vote early and often! (You will, however, need to register with the website. Also note that the voting doesn't seem to work on Firefox, only MS Internet Explorer.)

Laura is a real leader in CSAs and relocalization -- and not just because she plows her fields with horses. Learn more about Laura and 47th Avenue Farm here:
